Hi All,
I have just started building my Billings Marie Jeanne model. It starts by telling me to put the false keel on to a board with 2x strips for support. Is a false keel just there to support of the ship frame for building or is it glued to the ship frame?. Also the position of the false keel does not match the ship frame with that of the plans. For example the false keel is shown on the plan by rib 7 and tapers to rib 3 but mine starts at 7 and tapers well before rib 3. I am a complete newbie to wooden building so any advise would welcomed.
Cheers,
Roger
